In a pivotal Wednesday night matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Phoenix Suns will be without their big man Deandre Ayton for the second-straight game.
As of now, the Suns stand in the fourth spot of the Western Conference, however, all it would take is a string of losses for them to slip into a play-in spot quite quickly.
Phoenix was without Deandre Ayton as they took on the Thunder over the weekend, and his absence was notable. Even with Devin Booker putting on a show with 46 points, there was not enough help to bring them a road victory.
